Williams-Sonoma Ban Assault Pressure Cookers

If it only saves one life…

Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware with over 250 stores in the United States, has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves following the Boston Marathon bombing.

“It’s a temporary thing out of respect,” said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall. He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.

Pressure cookers will still be available on the Williams-Sonoma website.

Crate & Barrel is still selling pressure cookers in their stores, according to Elizabeth who is the General Manager of the location at the Natick Mall. (Full Story)

What happened to the right to keep and bear pressure cookers? This is BULLSHIT! Oh… only temporary? Well still, I’m not a fan. Trust a bombing to mess up the stew I had planned for late this week. There better not be a quiche tin related massacre between now and the weekend or my life is ruined.

Idiotic. Probably the last place someone would buy a pressure cooker unless they were actually intending to do some serious cooking in an overpriced ultimate version. WS doesn’t sell cheap crap anyone would want to destroy

I’m not normally a fan of boycotts; I think they’re ineffective at best. Also, I love me some WS. But someone really needs to be slapped for this bullshit. Completely meaningless gestures done “out of respect” are about the worst form of disrespect, in my opinion. “We cared enough to give this NO RATIONAL THOUGHT WHATSOEVER. We just DID SOMETHING so we can’t be accused of being insensitive.”

Again wrong approach, we should really micro-stamp all nails, screws, ball bearings and any other small projectile. If we do anything to pressure cookers we should add biometrics and add some type of safety lock. All of those solutions will show the terrorists who’s boss.

Instead of moronic bullshit like this how about the mainstream media stops making people like his celebrities? They’re basically calling him a victim, they’re interviewing his family setting them up for future book deals. The media turns this shit into a fucking joke and we will seriously regret it because there WILL be more attacks because of it. Just wait for the next group of radicals who has a larger bankroll.

Broasted chicken is awesome…I think Chick-Filet broasts as well. (ah-ohhh said “that” company’s name!) Who uses cows to sell chicken?? They’re probably illegally traffic-ed cows…God knows…(ah-ohhh, I said the G-word!) Concur w background checks…would add a wait period, depending on the brand and sophistication of the contraption. Those who are flagged for broasting excessively should be put on a watchlist…sketchy to eat that much broasted chicken and not gain weight.

Now I wonder what would happen if you wrap Aerospace Aluminum Foil Tape which is used to make temporary fixes on aircraft wings traveling 500MPH, around a regular crock pot loaded with explosives and has nails and screws?

Besides one of the precursors to plastic explosives is hydrogen peroxide.

Hah! Hah hah! How do you like it? How do you like it you chefs and home cooking enthusiasts? How do you like having a useful and enjoyable tool taken from your reach just so a few ignorant people can use something other than logic and reason to soothe their fears?!

I have had my pressure canner for 40+ years. These things are extremely dangerous if you walk away and forget they are on the stove. Don’t run out and buy one unless you have an Elder who can show you how to use it safely.
